Robert Able and associates Panasonic glider AT&T and others Mar '91
I worked at Robert Abel and Associates one of the largest visual effects production companies in Hollywood we were the
first ones to use computer graphics in a motion picture movie “Tron” About Me
Bruce A. Manning BIO After college Bruce A. Manning landed an internship on the very first
"Star Trek" movie. One of
the top production companies in the world, then Robert Abels. Bruce A. Manning worked on commercials like AT&T,
Levis, Amtrak, Phillips Radios, and 7up, to name a few. He moved up the ladder getting into the photographers union, local
600 which resulted in better pay. Bruce moved over to the Walt Disney movie "Tron" He along with many talented artists and
creative directors pieced together an eye-popping collection of images including the "Tron" poster, and many composite
photographs use in "Life" magazine, People magazine, and the "Tron" collectors book. Advancing forward Bruce
continued to climb the ladder of success in Hollywood, and landed a position as 2nd assistant cameraman on the movie
"Top Gun" working closely to now famous film director Tony Scott (RIP) and Director of Photography Wayne Kimball,
Bruce was flown out 300 miles west San Diego to the navy fighter ship "USS Enterprise". Loading 35mm Panavision film
magazines and doing the clapper slate helped make the movie with stars including Tom Cruse, Meg Ryan, among others.
Bruce landed a nice position on Terminator II, 2nd unit... Terminator II was a big movie, the biggest in Hollywood at the
time, Bruce A. Manning learned valuable skills working with cars and camera cars, insert cars and odd camera mounts,
and attaching 35mm film cameras on assorted vehicles from motorcycles, cars, and trucks. Bruce learned a lot and sharpened
his craft quickly. Including remote follow-focus pulling. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Actor: Terminator 2: Judgment Day then a
cyborg from the future speeds by on his bike and sawed off, nothing could hurt him. The director, award-winning James
Cameron a very good director expected the best. The responsibilities were great with many crew members coming and
going keeping Bruce on his toes. Soon after he started producing his own productions and also developed a popular stock
footage library of 35mm film images that brought in income from royalties for years. Highlighted images in his cache were
road images shot in Joshua Tree National Park these special road and car images were shot on 35mm film cameras out
the back of his 1992 silver ford mustang using a Ubangie to off-set mount in the trunk of the car putting the camera inches
off the road giving a very close look to the road, these images propelled him upward. National car commercials used
these images in Ford, Chevy, Toyota cars, and trucks. Social Media & Personal Websites
